Flower Mission Day.

Thursday OF this week will witness the
observance In this city Of most beautiful
custom-being a general distribution OF
flowers to the inmates OF the various hos
pitfalls, reformatorles, and other public in
stitutions by the ladies OF the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
Nothing that could be done by these fol-
lowers of Him who went about doing good
can more quickly reach responsive chord
in human nature than the carrying OF
Gods most beautiful and eloquent OF inani-
mate things to the pain-tossed couch where
the phantoms OF diseased brain chase one
another through the weary hours OF day
and the dismal watches of night, unre-
lleved save by a mournful procession OF
medicine walls. Flowers at the bedside OF
those who are sick, amid near and dear
ones, possess mute eloquence, but when
kindly bands lay them with the sick among
strangers, their every petal speaks grandly
of the open air, Of babbling brook, and YER
dant field.
And to those immured for society's sake
they preach visible sermon they typify
innocence and urge repentance. No vocal

persuasion could so reach down into the
depths Of the human heart, and recall the
days Of unalloyed love, ambitious hope,
and childhood's home. There is naught Of
selfshness in this strangers act, who places
before them these fowery mementoes, and
nothing is asked In return save an earnest
thought Of the Master who is love and life.
But week ago the gardens were depopu-
lated that our dead heroes graves might be
decorated; now we ask that again they be
called upon to yield OF their fruitfulness,
that the living may be gratihed, the dis
tressed comforted. Those who have flowers
could not better dispose Of them this week
than by sending them on Wednesday or
early Thursday morning either to Mrs. G. N.

AN EXTRA SESSION NEEDED.
Tho Monetary Interests Demand Con-
gressionai Legislation.


Council Bluffs Nonpareil. The financial
future is affected by the large receipts OF
the treasury. Foreign commerce does not
improve, the imports for April exceeding
the exports by nearly $l6,000,O00.
Danville (va) Register The last state
ment from the Treasury Department shows
that the expenditure for eleven months past
amount to S253, $50, ,302, or $50, ,000, 600 more
than for the corresponding eleven months
Of the preceding year, and will probably
run up TO S2T0, 100000 by the end OF the
current year, so that the prospect is fair for
a surplus OF $l00,000,000 this fiscal year.
This statement Is alarming, and shows the
urgent necessity OF reduction Of taxes In
one form or another. 1t Is very true say
ing, and worthy Of all acceptation, that q
rich government makes poor country.
Our country has been getting poorer for
several years past, and still the government
is accumulating each year millions OF money
more than II can spend.
Boston Traueter: From the statement
made by the Treasury Department 1t ap-
pears that the treasury surplus is to be
much greater than was expected even by
Secretary Manning. The revenues have
been larger and the expenditures smaller
than was anticipated. Mr.. Mannng's es-
Inmates were $3.50 100000 for receipts aud
1914, 600, 900 for ordinary expenditures. The
receipts will probably reach 1870, 900, 600,
while, owing to the failure Of the river aud
harbor deficiency bills, the expenditures
will he only $2G6,000,0O0. The surplus,
therefore, at the end of the current year,
will be sl04, 100000, and that for 1888 can
hardly be less than $125, 100000. This is a
startling showing and most striking COM
mentary on the inefliclency Of the forty
ninth Congress.
Boston Globe: Word comes from Wash
ington that an extra fall session Of Congress
is now looked forward to as a necessity.
That is exactly what 1t is. We showed ia
these columns several weeks since why
President Cleveland would be fully justi-
fed In calling Congress togetherin October.
The financial interests Of the country are
in need Of relief from the threatened hoard
ing of money In the treasury vaults. The
government is now steadily gathering into
its Golfers about $120,000,000 a year more
than II needs to meet all its bills. This is a
tremendous drain on the pockets Of the
people. II It goes on long the treasury will
be overflowiDg, while the people will not
have enough money to carry on their bust
ness with. In some way or other this ex :
haustive process must be stopped. The
further accumulation of money at Washing
ton can be prevented, and the general vel
fare demands that 1t shall be done.
